Someone You Can Build a Nest In by John WiswellMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
You know your life is getting strange if, within two weeks, you read two books with intelligent parasites learning to live and love their potential hosts. Hell, it's even more odd to see these parasites suffering from social anxiety or just plain anxiety, feeling needy and pathetic like an ACTUAL parasite.
Too funny. This isn't Leech, however. The other was a doctor. This one was just lovestruck in a framework story that was all pretty awesome horror. Or dark supernatural fantasy, if you like.
Enjoyable, either way. Nommed for '25 Nebula.
I guess I kinda expected this to be richer, more imaginative. The premise was delicious. My synesthesia tastes good gore. Exactly what the parasite ordered.
Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews might be interested in reading my own SF, I'm going to be open to requests. Just direct message me in goodreads or email me on my site. I'd love to get some eyes on my novels.
